Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee in the Debtor's above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Trustee\"), the undersigned respectfully represents as follows:\n\n1.

That THE TRUSTEE was substituted for the Debtor as the defendant in this Adversary Proceeding.\n\n3. That the Trustee has asserted counterclaims against counterclaim-defendants HK USA and MEI GUO, of 373 Taconic Rd, Greenwich, CT 06831 (\"Ms. Guo\" and, together with HK USA, collectively, the \"Counterclaim-Defendants\") in this Adversary Proceeding, as set forth in the Trustee's *Answer and Counterclaims* [Adversary Proceeding Docket No. 36].\n\n4. That there is probable cause that a judgment (the \"Judgment\") with a value equal to or greater than the prejudgment remedy sought, or in an amount greater than the amount of the prejudgment remedy sought, taking into account any known defenses, counterclaims or set-offs, will be rendered in this Adversary Proceeding in favor of the Trustee's claims asserted in the Answer and Counterclaims as follows:\n\n- On Count I, judgment with a value equal to the value of the Lady May;\n- On Count II, judgment with a value equal to the assets, known and unknown, of HK USA, including, without limitation, the Lady May and the Escrowed Funds;\n- On Count III, judgment with a value equal to the membership interests in HK USA;\n- On Count IV, judgment with a value equal to the Lady May or its value at the time of the asserted intentionally fraudulent transfer; and\n- On Count V, judgment with a value equal to or greater than \\$134 million.\n\n5.

The Trustee reserves all rights to seek to amend the amount of the prejudgment remedy during this Adversary Proceeding and in any postjudgment proceedings, as well as to seek other and further ultimate relief, including, without limitation, damages and interest that may not be enumerated herein as part of the prejudgment remedy sought.

Despins, in my capacity as chapter 11 trustee in the above-captioned chapter 11\n\ncase (the \"Chapter 11 Case\"), being duly sworn, hereby depose and say:\n\n1. I am over the age of eighteen years and understand and believe in the obligations\n\nof an oath.\n\n2. I am the chapter 11 trustee in the above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Trustee\").\n\nI make the statements herein solely in my capacity as Trustee based upon my investigation to\n\ndate and my knowledge from my review of the sources cited as exhibits to the *Chapter 11*\n\n#### Case 22-50073 Doc 876-2 Filed 09/24/22 Entered 09/24/22 18:59:04 Page 10 of Case 22-05003 Doc 37 Filed 09/23/22 Entered 09/23/22 20:13:07 Page 10 of 22 22\n\n*Trustee's Answer and Counterclaims* (the \"Counterclaims\").\n\n3. I offer this affidavit in support of the Trustee's *Application for Prejudgment Remedy* (the \"Application\") filed in the above-captioned adversary proceeding (the \"Adversary Proceeding\") against Counter-Defendants HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC (\"HK USA\") and Mei Guo to secure a future judgment against Counter-Defendants with respect to the Counterclaims.\n\n4. As stated in the Counterclaims, the Trustee holds a series of affirmative claims against HK USA based on, among other things, HK USA's well-documented role as one of a series of shell companies used by the Debtor to protect his assets from creditors.\n\n5. These Counterclaims are supported by the extensive evidentiary record of documents cited in and attached to the Counterclaims, including without limitation (i) admissions by the Debtor or his representatives; (ii) rulings made by Justice Ostrager of the New York Supreme Court (the \"State Court\") in the action captioned *PAX v. Kwok*, Index No. 652077/2017 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.); and (iii) the docket and public record in this chapter 11 case.\n\n6. To the best of my knowledge, the documents attached as exhibits to the counterclaims are true and correct copies of such documents, and such documents are incorporated herein as evidence supporting the Application.\n\n7. As set forth in Counterclaims and the exhibits and evidence referred to therein, the Trustee is entitled to prevail on his declaratory judgment claims and claims for damages, including (i) recovery of all property belonging to Counter-Defendant HK USA, including without limitation the *Lady May* (or its value at the time of its transfer by the Debtor, as described in the Application) and HK USA's interest in the \\$37 million in escrowed funds; (ii) recovery of Counter-Defendant Mei Guo's membership interest in HK USA; and/or (iii) a\n\n2\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 876-2 Filed 09/24/22 Entered 09/24/22 18:59:04 Page 11 of Case 22-05003 Doc 37 Filed 09/23/22 Entered 09/23/22 20:13:07 Page 11 of 22 22\n\njudgment of an award of damages of at least \\$134 million relating to the contempt fines discussed in the Counterclaims.\n\n8. On account of the facts set forth above, and as discussed in the Counterclaims, HK USA's claim in its Adversary Complaint fails, and the Trustee has demonstrated probable cause to succeed on the Counterclaims. I am not aware of any defenses, set offs or counterclaims that HK USA might have with respect to its liability and indebtedness to the Plaintiffs that would affect the Trustee's ability to obtain the relief sought in the Application.\n\nI declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.\n\n> */s/ Luc A.

Despins，以本人作为上述标题第11章\n\n案件（以下简称“第11章案件”）第11章受托人的身份，经依法宣誓，特此声明如下：\n\n1. 本人已年满十八周岁，并理解且相信宣誓义务。\n\n2. 本人系上述标题第11章案件的第11章受托人（以下简称“受托人”）。\n\n本人仅以受托人身份，根据本人迄今进行的调查，以及本人审阅作为第11章受托人答辩及反诉（以下简称“反诉”）附件所引来源而获得的知悉，作出本宣誓书中的陈述。\n\n案卷 22-50073 文件 876-2 于 09/24/22 提交 于 09/24/22 18:59:04 登记 第 10 页；对抗程序案号 22-05003 文件 37 于 09/23/22 提交 于 09/23/22 20:13:07 登记 第 10 页，共 22 页\n\n3. 本人提交本宣誓书，以支持受托人在上述标题对抗程序（以下简称“本对抗程序”）中针对反诉被告 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（HK美国国际基金投资有限责任公司，以下简称“HK USA”）及 Mei Guo（郭美）提出的判决前救济申请（以下简称“本申请”），从而担保日后就反诉请求作出的针对反诉被告的判决。\n\n4. 如反诉所述，受托人对 HK USA 持有一系列积极请求权，该等请求权的依据包括但不限于：有充分文件记录表明，HK USA 是债务人为保护其资产免受债权人追索而使用的一系列空壳公司之一。\n\n5. 这些反诉得到反诉中引用及附具的广泛书面证据记录支持，包括但不限于：(i) 债务人或其代表作出的承认；(ii) 纽约州最高法院（New York Supreme Court，纽约州最高法院）Ostrager法官在案名为PAX v. Kwok、案号为652077/2017 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.)的诉讼中作出的裁决；以及(iii) 本第11章案件的案卷及公开记录。\n\n6. 据我所知，作为反诉证物所附的文件均为该等文件真实、正确的副本，且该等文件作为支持本申请的证据并入本文。\n\n7. 如反诉及其中所提及的证物和证据所述，受托人有权就其确认判决请求和损害赔偿请求胜诉，包括：(i) 追回属于反诉被告HK USA的全部财产，包括但不限于Lady May（或如本申请所述，其由债务人转让时的价值）以及HK USA在$37 million托管资金中的权益；(ii) 追回反诉被告Mei Guo（郭美）在HK USA中的成员权益；及/或(iii) 一项\n\n案件22-50073 文件876-2 提交日期09/24/22 录入日期09/24/22 18:59:04 第11页，共案件22-05003 文件37 提交日期09/23/22 录入日期09/23/22 20:13:07 第11页，共22页 22\n\n就反诉中讨论的藐视法庭罚款作出的至少$134 million损害赔偿判决。\n\n8. 基于上述事实，并如反诉中所讨论，HK USA在其对抗程序起诉状中的请求不能成立，且受托人已证明其反诉胜诉存在合理可能性。我不知道HK USA就其对原告的责任和债务可能拥有任何会影响受托人获得本申请所请求救济的抗辩、抵销或反诉。\n\n我根据美利坚合众国法律，以伪证罪处罚为担保声明，上述内容真实、正确。\n\n/s/ Luc A.
